I'm from a small city down here in Texas
Cold-hearted with a whole lot of hate
Everybody wanna see what you doin
But they don't really wanna see you live great
You can try you can try but if you do it
A lot of smile gone turn into frowns
And now the streets actin like the police
They just wanna shoot a young nigga down
I was only tryin to make things better
Try to do something good with myself
I had to do it all on my own though
Cause y'all would laugh when I asked for some help
I just wanted y'all to listen
That was it
But I guess didn't really have the time
And now I'm moving forward and I ain't lookin back for nothing but y'all don't hear me tho
Everybody claim to be the man in my city
But ain't nobody got shit sowed up
Naw
While niggas busy trying to flex on one another
White folks got this bitch sowed up
Aw
They say the sky is the limit
Yes it is
So why is everybody looking at the ground
And if you ever try to make it out the barrel
Your own people gone pull you back down
That's simply how the game go
A damn shame but that's just the way it is
They swear that the down to ride for ya
But they won't even ride for they own kids
Speaking of kids that's all these hoes doing
Every nine months got another on the way
They fall head over heels with these niggas
But a marriage ain't never in the play
And now you stuck with a dead beat
And you wanna take it out on me
But I'm moving forward and I ain't looking back for nothing
But you don't hear me though
Everybody claim to be the man in my city
But ain't nobody got shit sowed up
Naw
While niggas busy trying to flex on one another
White folks got this bitch sowed up
Aw
How bout we pause for a second
For all the homies that we lost in the past
We gotta start standing strong with each other if the hard times ever gone pass
See one thing that I'll never understand
No matter how much love that you show
They'll never give it back in return
They rather give it to a bunch of people they don't know
And that's the ones to get rich
Make it to the top
And they ain't giving back shit
While you still stuck in the same spot
And don't know where to start with your dreams to get out
But one nigga teach two niggas
Teach four niggas
And them niggas teach more niggas
When we blast it'll be the bigggest blast you heard
But you don't hear me tho
Everybody claim to be the man in my city
But ain't nobody got shit sowed up
Naw
While niggas busy trying to flex on one another
White folks got this bitch sowed up
Aw
